Even though straw has little value for food
- even for animals - and appears to us to be totally useless,
it makes wonderful
hats to keep our heads cool when the sun it at its hottest. The
wonder of God's creation is that even the most useless object
can be extremely useful, often in ways beyond our imagining.

Buy one inexpensive straw hat or cap (from
the 99-cent store or craft store) for each child.

Using a glue gun, decorate each hat with wheat,
oats, fruit, or flowers.

For small children, you may need to add ties
or padding inside the crown so the hats will fit.
